Name

jgui - Xinet GUI service for remote administration

Synopsis

/usr/etc/appletalk/jgui [ -D | -d hexdbg ] [ -p port ]

Description

Jgui is an administration program for Xinet servers which speaks a proprietary protocol over a TCP/IP connection to a ``client'' application that handles user GUI interactions. Xinet also ships a JAVA application that implements the client side of this protocol. See the Xinet Administration Guide for details about running the JAVA client on a Macintosh.

The jgui program implements identical behaviour to xktalk(1) , except for not interacting with the user via the X Window System. It even uses the same X Resource Database files as xktalk(1) . See the xktalk(1) manual page for information about those resources.

With no -p argument, jgui prints a TCP port number on standard output, then waits up to 1 minute for a connection on that port from a client. If given a port number on the command line, jgui registers its IP address and port with NBP, then listens on that port number (if it is not taken) and continually accepts connections from clients, fork()ing a new GUI sessions for each.

There is minimal Protocol debugging provided through the -D and -d options. The -D option turns on all relevant debugging options. The following table lists the relevant bits in hexdbg and what they mean.

Hex bit	The debug item it enables
00000001	Send messages to stderr (else /usr/adm/appletalk/at_log)
00000002	Enable any logging at all
00000004	Trace packets used for the TCP protocol
00000008	Trace creation of sized GUI widgets
00000020	Show GUI widget event callbacks
00008000	Include the C-source file and line number in msgs
00010000	Include the Process ID in msgs
00020000	Include the date/time in debug messages
